RailsDatatables in rails 3

datatabler

Hello together

I need help to get the datatables plugin in rails 3 (http://github.com/phronos/rails_datatables) to work.

I inserted the code below as described on github.

<% columns = [{:type => 'html', :class => "first"}, {:type => 'html'}, {:type => 'html'}, {:type => nil, :class => "last"}] %>
<%= datatable(columns, {:sort_by => "[0, 'desc']", :processing => image_tag("spinner.gif") }) %>

The ruby code above produces the following html output:

[code]
$(function() {
$('.datatable').dataTable({
"oLanguage": {
"sSearch": "Search",

"sProcessing": ''
},
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"iDisplayLength": 25,
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": false,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bStateSave": true,
"bFilter": true,
"bAutoWidth": true,
'aaSorting': [[0, 'desc']],

"aoColumns": [
{
'sType': 'html',
'bSortable':true,
'bSearchable':true
,'sClass':'first'
},{
'sType': 'html',
'bSortable':true,
'bSearchable':true

},{
'sType': 'html',
'bSortable':true,
'bSearchable':true

},{
'sType': 'string',
'bSortable':true,
'bSearchable':true
,'sClass':'last'
}
],

"fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
aoData.push( );
$.getJSON( sSource, aoData, function (json) {
fnCallback(json);
} );
}
});
});
[/code]

The table:

[code]


Name
Account Level
Email



<%- @users.each do |user| -%>

<%= user.last_name %>
<%= user.first_name %>
<%= user.email %>

<%- end -%>

[/code]

But this isn't working. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to place some code in the controller?

I included all necessary libaries. May be someone can give me an example working project?

Thank you very much!

You need to tell rails to escape the string.

<%= raw 'string' %>
